Normal urinalysis: This is a normal finding on a clean catch urine specimen. Epithelial cells mean some skin cells were picked up during urination into the sample container. An accurate urinalysis without any skin or vagina contamination requires a urine specimen obtained by catheterizing the urethra and getting the specimen directly from the bladder.

Diabetes?: I agree w/Dr. Treacy that your urinalysis appears normal aside from 1+ glucose as noted by Dr. Latham. Along those lines, I'm worried about your FBS 180, assuming you're referring to fingerstick blood sugar, especially if fasting (normal less than 100). You should ask for Hemoglobin A1c blood test to ascertain sugar control over last 3mo. 5.7-6.4 is pre-diabetes while higher than 6.4 is diabetes.
